Changes:
lintian (2.2.6~bpo50+1) lenny-backports; urgency=low
.
* Backported, no changes neccessary
.
lintian (2.2.6) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Summary of tag changes:
+ Added
- binary-from-other-architecture

- lzma-deb-archive
- multiple-distributions-in-changes-file (disabled)
- spelling-error-in-binary (experimental)
- unsupported-source-format
.
* checks/binaries:
+ [RA] When checking for dependencies on libc, don't use /o on the
regex. Otherwise, lintian produces false positives when run on
multiple packages with different architectures, since the libc
package name is not the same on all architectures. Thanks to
Raphael Geissert for the report. (Closes: #516067)
+ [RA] Check for binaries from other architectures than the declared
architecture of the package outside of known multiarch directories.
Patch from Raphael Geissert. (Closes: #513996)
+ [RA] Check the data section of ELF binaries for spelling errors.
Patch from Raphael Geissert.
* checks/common_data.pm:
+ [RA] Virtual packages now come from data.
* checks/changelog-file:
+ [RA] Don't warn about uncompressed ChangeLog files in doc. They may
be small files and the maintainer may be installing some other
upstream file as the upstrema changelog. (Closes: #515601)
+ [RA] Fix improbable-bug-number-in-closes so that it works.
* checks/control-file:
+ [ADB] Properly exclude packages built from the glibc source package
from the "hardcoded depends on libc" test. (Closes: #515831)
* checks/cruft:
+ [RA] For Format: 2.0 and Format: 3.0 (quilt) packages, check
the *.debian.tar.(gz|bz2|lzma) contents instead of expecting
diffstat output. (Closes: #515069)
+ [RA] Ignore cruft in the upstream source in directories that look
like part of a test suite. The files may be part of the test
cases. (Closes: #515137)
* checks/deb-format{,.desc}:
+ [RA] Recognize data.tar.lzma binary package components and use a
different tag than malformed-deb-archive.
* checks/description:
+ [ADB] Warn of homepages embedded in the description which use the
syntax "Homepage: <http://example.com>" using the warning level
tag description-contains-homepage rather than the info level tag
description-possibly-contains-homepage. (Closes: #515998)
+ [RA] Don't warn about too-short long descriptions for transitional
or dummy packages. Thanks, Andreas Beckmann. (Closes: #515538)
* checks/fields{,.desc}:
+ [RA] Load virtual packages from data/fields/virtual-packages.
+ [RA] Warn of unsupported source package versions.
* checks/files{,.desc}:
+ [RA] Warn of PNG icons whose size doesn't match the size indicated
by the directory in which they're installed. Patch from Raphael
Geissert. (Closes: #509624)
+ [RA] Make static regexes global to avoid recreating them for each
file we scan. Patch from Raphael Geissert.
+ [ADB] Modify the check for embedded Javascript libraries to ignore
yahoo.js as there are similarly named, but unrelated, scripts in
the archive.
+ [ADB] Lower the certainty of the embedded-{javascript,php}-library
tags to "possible" as they trigger purely on filenames and not
content. (Closes: #515690)
+ [RA] Offer advice for duplicate-font-file for when the font package
is huge. Thanks, Thijs Kinkhorst and Paul Wise. (Closes: #515689)
* checks/patch-systems.desc:
+ [RA] Improve the suggestions in the long description of
quilt-patch-missing-description and dpatch-missing-description based
on suggestions from Paul Wise. (Closes: #516534)
* checks/scripts:
+ [RA] Make static regexes global to avoid recreating them for each
file we scan. Patch from Raphael Geissert.
* checks/shared-libs:
+ [RA] Save a local reference to objdump information to reduce the
number of method calls. Patch from Raphael Geissert.
+ [ADB] Correctly handle alternative dependency lines in symbols files
which contain multiple entries. (Closes: #516427)
.
* collection/strings{,.desc}:
+ [RA] Collect a list of ELF binaries in the package and the output of
strings on each binary except for those in /usr/lib/debug. Based on
a patch from Raphael Geissert. (Closes: #514951)
.
* data/fields/obsolete-packages:
+ [RA] Add foomatic-data, lambdamoo-{core,server}, and old kernel
packages. Patch from Raphael Geissert.
* data/fields/virtual-packages:
+ [RA] New file listing known virtual packages. Based on a patch by
Raphael Geissert. (Closes: #514497)
.
* debian/postrm:
+ [RA] Use set -e, not #!/bin/sh -e.
.
* frontend/lintian:
+ [ADB] Split the Distribution field of a .changes file into individual
distributions and then check each of them against the list of known
distributions. (Closes: #514853)
+ [ADB] Anchor the regular expressions for the backports, security and
proposed-updates distribution checks, so that etch-backports is
accepted as a valid distribution but etch-backportss is not.
+ [ADB] Add a new check for .changes files which contain multiple
entries in their Distribution: field. The check is currently
disabled as the syntax is currently accepted by dak although it is
likely to stop being so in the near future.
.
* lib/Lintian/Collect/Source.pm:
+ [RA] Recognize Format: 2.0 packages as non-native.
* lib/Lintian/Command.pm:
+ [RA] Disable IPC::Run debugging. Patch from Raphael Geissert.
+ [RA] Don't load Data::Dumper. Patch from Raphael Geissert.
* lib/Spelling.pm:
+ [RA] Add spelling correction for "mroe".
* lib/Util.pm:
+ [RA] Minor optimizations to {read,parse}_dpkg_control. Patch from
Raphael Geissert.
+ [RA] Only take the first space after a field name as the separator
and treat the rest as part of the field value so that other parts of
Lintian can see the leading spaces.
.
* private/refresh-virtual-packages-data:
+ [RA] New script to generate the list of virtual packages. Based on
a patch by Raphael Geissert.
* private/update-coverage:
+ [RA] Add support for source package tests.

+ [RA] Analyze the upstream source tarball to extract its prefix and
save it in the laboratory. Also fixes unpacking of source tarballs
that have no common subdirectory.
.
lintian (2.2.5) unstable; urgency=low
.
* lib/Lintian/Collect/{Binary,Source}.pm:

(Closes: #514641)
.
lintian (2.2.3) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Summary of tag changes:
+ Added
- description-possibly-contains-homepage
- dfsg-version-in-native-package
- dfsg-version-with-period
- dfsg-version-misspelled
- experimental-to-unstable-without-comment (pedantic)
- homepage-for-cpan-package-contains-version
- maintainer-script-without-set-e (pedantic)
- source-contains-prebuilt-binary (pedantic)
- source-contains-prebuilt-windows-binary (pedantic)
- using-first-person-in-description
+ Removed
- non-us-spelling
.
* checks/changelog-file{,.desc}:
+ [RA] Add pedantic check for a distribution of unstable when the last
version had a distribution of experimental and there's no comment
about the change. (Closes: #483845)
* checks/common-data.pm:
+ [ADB] Remove the obsolete non-US from the list of recognised archive
sections.
* checks/copyright-file:
+ [RA] Treat License: GPL-2+ as "GPL version 2 or later" for the
purposes of the check for a correctly versioned license reference.
Patch from Evgeni Golov. (Closes: #513946)
* checks/cruft{,.desc}:
+ [RA] Downgrade all source-contains-* tags to pedantic. These are
upstream problems the packager can't do much about and they have
no practical effect on the Debian package. Wishlist implies that
a wishlist bug against the package would be appropriate, which
seems too strong.
+ [RA] Add pedantic check for binaries in the upstream source. Patch
from Raphael Geissert. (Closes: #127494)
* checks/description{,.desc}:
+ [RA] Check for using first person in package descriptions, similar
to the existing check for debconf questions. Patch from Raphael
Geissert. (Closes: #514491)
+ [RA] Add check (wishlist/wild-guess) for apparent home page URLs in
the long description with no Homepage field. Based on a patch by
Paul Wise. (Closes: #339829)
* checks/fields{,.desc}:
+ [ADB] Remove checks for the capitalisation of the obsolete non-US
archive section.
+ [RA] Warn about Homepage fields pointing to search.cpan.org pages
containing a version number. Based on a patch by Paul Wise.
+ [RA] Warn of dfsg versions in native packages.
+ [RA] Warn of ".dfsg" versions and recommend "+dfsg" for version
sorting reasons. Thanks, Paul Wise. (Closes: #514203)
+ [RA] Warn of the "dsfg" typo in versions. Thanks, Paul Wise.
+ [RA] Use Lintian::Relation and the new Lintian::Collect support for
retrieving parsed relationship fields.
* checks/files:
+ [ADB] Don't report duplicate-font-file for udebs. Patch by Raphael
Geissert. (Closes: #514095)
* checks/scripts{,.desc}:
+ [RA] Add pedantic check for maintainer scripts using #!/bin/sh -e
instead of set -e in the script body. (Closes: #119045)
.
* collection/file-info{,.desc}:
+ [RA] Also run file-info for source packages. Patch from Raphael
Geissert.
.
* lib/Lintian/Collect.pm:
+ [RA] Defer loading of the subclasses until the constructor to avoid
circular dependencies at compilation time.
* lib/Lintian/Collect/Binary.pm:
+ [RA] New method relation() to return a Lintian::Relation object for
a given relationship field or set of relationship fields.
* lib/Lintian/Collect/Source.pm:
+ [RA] New methods relation() and relation_noarch() to return
Lintian::Relation objects for a given build relationship field or
set of fields. New method binary_relation() to return a
Lintian::Relation object for a given relationship field in a binary
package built from this source package.
+ [RA] Add file_info() method to return file information for source
packages. Patch from Raphael Geissert.
* lib/Lintian/Relation.pm:
+ [RA] New class based on the existing Dep module that handles package
relationship analysis. Now includes documentation, uses a more
object-oriented structure, and removes a special case handling of
Perl alternatives. This module will eventually replace Dep.
* lib/Lintian/Relation/Version.pm:
+ [RA] New module containing the version comparison code from Dep.
This module will only be needed until Lintian is converted to
Dpkg::Version or AptPkg::Version.
* lib/Spelling.pm:
+ [RA] Add some additional typo and case corrections. Patch from
Raphael Geissert.
.
* t/runtests:
+ [RA] Copy test suite data based on checksum, not size and time,
since some files change one character and Git doesn't preserve
timestamps. Patch from Raphael Geissert. (Closes: #514496)
.
* unpack/list-{binpkg,udebpkg}:
+ [RA] Preserve the source_version field from the previous list when
adding new packages, remove some dead code, and restructure for
improved readability. Thanks to Jordà Polo for the analysis.
(Closes: #507849)
+ [RA] Generate an index of files in the upstream source tarball.
Patch from Raphael Geissert.
.
lintian (2.2.2) unstable; urgency=low
.
The "this is why spooky action at a distance is bad" release.
.
* checks/copyright-file:
+ [ADB] Treat the new copyright file format's "License-Alias: Perl" as
indicating that the package is licensed under the same terms as Perl.
Thanks, gregor herrmann. (Closes: #513831)
* checks/debconf:
+ [RA] Reset $/ before issuing duplicate-fields-in-templates to
prevent problems if -i was given.
* checks/debhelper:
+ [RA] Remove stray localization of $/, which broke -i when issuing
tags about ${misc:Depends}.
* checks/fields:
+ [RA] Stop pointlessly setting $/ while parsing debian/rules and then
restoring it to the wrong value, which broke -i when issuing some
tags if they were the first tags issued.
* checks/scripts:
+ [RA] Add nickle as a known interpreter. Patch from Julien Cristau.
(Closes: #513823)
.
* lib/Util.pm:
+ [ADB] Localise a use of $_ in control file parsing to avoid overwriting
it and leading to uninitialized value warnings in check scripts.
(Closes: #513795)
.
lintian (2.2.1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Summary of tag changes:
+ Added
- copyright-refers-to-symlink-license (pedantic)

- debhelper-compatibility-level-not-a-number
- duplicate-font-file
- font-in-non-font-package
.
* checks/copyright-file{,.desc}:
+ [RA] Add checks for references to the versionless FSF license files,
pedantic if the package license allows relicensing under later
versions. Patch from Raphael Geissert. (Closes: #497346)
* checks/debhelper{,.desc}:
+ [RA] Use binary_field() to read control fields for binary packages.
Patch from Raphael Geissert.
+ [RA] Read only the first line of debian/compat, matching debhelper's
behavior. Improve the parsing of DH_COMPAT to pick up values that
aren't numbers. Warn of compatibility levels that aren't numbers.
Use the same compatibility level that debhelper would use in some
other checks. Patch from Raphael Geissert. (Closes: #513767)
+ [RA] default-jdk and default-jdk-builddep provide dh_nativejava as a
special case. (Closes: #513423)
* checks/fields:
+ [RA] Allow but do not require a libmodule-build-perl dependency if
the Build script is referenced in clean. Thanks, Charles Plessy and
gregor herrmann. (Closes: #421549)
* checks/fields{,.desc}:
+ [RA] Run dbg-package-missing-depends against the source package
instead of the binary package and check that it has a dependency
against another binary package built from the same source rather
than making assumptions about the package name. Patch from Raphael
Geissert. (Closes: #513336)
+ [RA] Use binary_field() to read control fields for binary packages.
Patch from Raphael Geissert.
* checks/files{,.desc}:
+ [RA] Add check for fonts in non-font packages. Thanks, Paul Wise
and Raphael Geissert. (Closes: #513650)
+ [RA] Add check for fonts that duplicate already packaged fonts.
Patch from Raphael Geissert. Thanks to Paul Wise for analysis and
data. (Partly addresses #298545)
* checks/shared-libs.desc:
+ [RA] Add references to the UsingSymbolsFiles wiki page in the tags
requesting generation of a symbols file.
+ [RA] Provide details on how to manually check some of the shared
library problems that Lintian diagnoses. (Closes: #513086)
* checks/standards-version:
+ [RA] Be robust against unparsable timestamps in changelog files.
Patch from Raphael Geissert. (Closes: #513766)
* checks/version-substvars:
+ [RA] Use binary_field() to read control fields for binary packages.
Patch from Raphael Geissert.
.
* data/files/fonts:
+ [RA] New file listing all font filenames in Debian and the
containing package names. Generated by private/refresh-fonts-data.
* data/output/manual-references:
+ [RA] Manual reference data used for formatting tag descriptions.
Moved from lib/manual_refs and added an explanatory header.
.
* frontend/lintian-info:
+ [RA] Use Lintian::Tag::Info instead of Read_taginfo.
.
* lib/Lintian/Collect/Source.pm:
+ [RA] Add binary_field() method to return a binary package field from
debian/control for a source package. Based on a patch by Raphael
Geissert.
+ [RA] Rewrite the binaries() method to use binary_field(). Based on
a patch by Raphael Geissert.
* lib/Lintian/Output.pm:
+ [ADB] Add a colour for pedantic tags to avoid warnings when colourised
output is used and make the combination more useful. Thanks, gregor
herrmann. (Closes: #513132)
+ [RA] Use Lintian::Tag::Info instead of Read_taginfo.
+ [RA] Force early exporting of functions to be more robust in the
face of circular library dependencies. The circular dependencies
had already existed but not previously caused problems.
* lib/Lintian/Output/LetterQualifier.pm:
+ [ADB] Add support for pedantic tags.
+ [RA] Use Lintian::Tag::Info instead of Read_taginfo.
* lib/Lintian/Tag/Info.pm:
+ [RA] New module providing an interface to tag metadata. Currently,
this only supports formatting the tag description, merging the
actions previously done by Manual_refs.pm and Read_taginfo.pm. It
defers loading of manual references until they're needed, which
removes the requirement that LINTIAN_ROOT be already set in the
environment before running the reporting harness. It also saves a
small amount of time in runs without -I.
* lib/Manual_refs.pm:
+ [RA] Removed, merged into Lintian::Tag::Info.
* lib/manual_refs:
+ [RA] Moved to data/output/manual-references.
* lib/Read_taginfo.pm:
+ [RA] Removed, merged into Lintian::Tag::Info.
* lib/Util.pm:
+ [RA] Force early exporting of functions to be more robust in the
face of circular library dependencies.
.
* man/lintian.1:
+ [ADB] Fix the spelling of "pedantic". Thanks, Michal Čihař.
(Closes: #513083)
.
* private/refresh-fonts-data:
+ [RA] New script to refresh the list of font filenames and containing
packages in Debian. Based on a script by Raphael Geissert.
* private/refresh-manual-refs:
+ [RA] Renamed from manual_refs_update.pl. Add a section heading to
the output file and update the file in Lintian's data directory
directly rather than printing to standard output.
.
* reporting/config:
+ [RA] Set a bin directory and disable signature checks by default.
* reporting/harness
+ [RA] Add the bin directory to the path and create a gpg link to
/bin/true if signature checks are disabled. This is a hack to work
with the etch version of dpkg-source. In lenny, the --no-check flag
will be used instead. Patch from Raphael Geissert.
* reporting/html_reports:
+ [RA] Use Lintian::Tag::Info instead of Read_taginfo.
.
* t/runtests:
+ [RA] Add support for selecting a different test package skeleton.
* t/templates/pedantic{,.upstream}:
+ [RA] New template that passes all pedantic checks.
